Hole 8 at Sand Hills Golf Club in Mullen, Nebraska is a par 4 that plays 367 yards from the championship tees and 293 yards from the pro tees. This hole has a slight dogleg to the right with an average fairway width of 55 yards. The green area is 10748 sq ft and there are 8 bunkers surrounding it, 6% of which are greenside bunkers.
Golfers should take into account local weather conditions when playing this hole as altitude, temperature, and wind can all affect ball flight. For example, during summer months temperatures may be higher than usual resulting in longer drives due to decreased air density while cold winter months may require golfers to adjust their club selection for shorter distances caused by increased air density. Wind can also have a big impact on play here so it's important to consider its direction before taking your shot off the tee box or with your approach shot into the green.
For players hitting from the championship tees, they will want to hit their driver off the tee aiming slightly left of center (to avoid going too far right) leaving them around 230-240 yards out for their second shot depending on weather conditions mentioned above. Players hitting from either of the other two tee boxes should use either a 3 wood or hybrid club with similar aim points as those using driver off championship tees but adjusted yardages based on clubs used (7 iron ~140yards & pitching wedge ~120yards). When approaching this hole golfers need to be aware of where they place themselves relative to both sides of fairway bunkering and greenside bunker complex - being too aggressive could lead you astray if not careful!

Club Recommendations
Finally, when putting on this hole it is important to note that the green has a slight tilt from back left to front right. This means golfers should take into account any break they see and adjust their putts accordingly or risk missing out on an easy par 4!
